Leaving Transilvania explores the exodus of the Transylvanian Saxons from Romania. The film captures the profound impact of mass emigration in the early 1990s, which threatened an 800-year-old cultural heritage. It provides an intimate portrayal of elderly Saxon couples in the village of Arbegen, highlighting their loneliness, fear of displacement, and resilience.
